Another quick question that I think I know the answer to but I'm hoping I'm wrong. First 4 tires are free, but mounting still counts toward the budget if you have to pay someone to do it, right?

My tires are mounted and balanced but I did not budget the price.
My budget is done and printed. If I was wrong, oh well, I still have about $100 left in my budget.
I believe that counts as labor done in a pro shop, but i assume first 4 free = tires, mount, balance then any beyond that goes in budget. Spend $ on tire machines, do it yourself, no budget hit 
Ok, thanks for the input guys. Not sure yet what I'll do...don't think I have time anyway to do the thing I need the money for, so this is sort of a moot point.
If the tires are free the labor to mount said tires should be free.
Since liquids will count now, instant detailer and wax now count?!? Not being a smart ass either.
Hmmm, you all are making things interesting. I might shoot Rick an email.

Rules:
Fluids (including gasoline, oil and brake fluid) are not required to be included in the budget. Nitrous oxide refills do not count toward the budget (however, the cost of the equipment that comes along a nitrous setup does need to be added to the budget). Nominal amounts of grease (such as what’s required to pack bearings) do not need to be included in the budget.
In reply to sethmeister4:
You are forgetting what you took off the car.
When you bought the car, the purchase price included 4 mounted tires, right?
So, you removed 4 crappy tires + 4 tire mounts. You then bought 4 new yummy tires (budget exempt), and REINSTALLED the 4 tire mounts you had previously removed from the car.
All you did was put back on the car what you bought it with. The value is already accounted for in your initial purchase price.
(Note, my opinion is certainly devoid of anything official)
